Zoanthid Eating Nudibranchs

[whalewhalewhale]

I am having a lot of trouble with keeping the zoas in my tank under control and at this point, just want to get rid of them all. They've already smothered and killed a lot of the corals I placed next to them to "sting" and keep back, and now they're reaching upwards towards the expensive ones I'd like to keep. From what I'm hearing, ZEN can decimate entire zoa colonies and this is exactly what I'd like it to do.

If anyone is dealing with zoa eating nudis, I'd love to take em off your hands.

Thanks.

You might also look for sundial snails. They like zoanthids too.

A bit risky, as I’d like whatever to die off once all the zoas are eaten. Nudis will starve, but sundials can go for my other corals.

Hmm, haven't heard of sundials going for anything other than zoanthids.
But I guess coral predator's can be opportunistic.
I would think you might find the nudibranchs at lfs that bring in wild colonies.
